focus forced games good kinda lost maybe nervous pulled rattled stay teams together won
I think maybe some games in the past, we lost our focus and let some teams back in. Miami, they kinda forced their way back in, you know. We didn't really get rattled or nervous or anything like that. They just did some good things. Any good team, they're not going to stay down for long. But the thing is, we pulled together and we still won the game.
stayed
Short-range shots, you're going to know where it's going to come off, so I just stayed with it.
determined easy sink slump stay
As a team, we're frustrated. We're determined at the same time, though. We're determined to stay positive. It's very easy to slump your shoulders, sink your head, (think) 'We're losing.' But we're not going to do that.
coach defensive effort extra foul game good hold middle picking plays rebounds stay
Coach has really been challenging him to stay out of foul trouble. We need him to hold the middle down, get big rebounds and make good defensive plays without picking up fouls. I think he's going to make the extra effort to stay in the game and we're going to need him to.
chance fifth four game good losses opportunity positive privileged season spite stay thankful year
This is our fifth consecutive year and I've been privileged enough to be on four of those teams. This is just an opportunity for us to play well and to be together. Every game is another chance to make it better. In spite of our losses here lately, we've had a good season and a good record. There's a lot to be thankful for and stay positive about.
came competing loss needed start
We weren't really over that loss when we came back. We needed to start competing better and do the things we need to do to win.
emotional good main roller shots took
It was an emotional roller coaster. They had their highs; we had our highs. I think our conditioning was the main part, and we took good shots in overtime.
ability basket buy confidence drives guys half hard knock mix open shooting sit
Personally, I don't like shooting a lot of 3s. I want to get some drives to the basket and do some other things. You can sit out there and shoot 3s all game, easy. It's hard for me to buy into that. I want to mix it up some because I have the ability to. At the same time, we have guys who can really knock down the 3s. It made you not want to shoot any more 3s in the first half because we weren't making them, but open shots, you've got to have that confidence you can knock them down.
break defense fast stops transition
Our defense has to be there. We need to get stops and get some fast break transition opportunities.
outside people
People on the outside don't know what's going on inside. They think they know. They don't.
behind happen learn opportunity
We had our opportunity. We got the stop, and I had a shot, and I thought I was going to make it. I thought it would be like Clemson all over again. But it didn't happen. And it didn't happen for a reason. So we need to learn from this, and we need to put it behind us.
came couple games last lost minds wire
We've lost some games in the past, the games that came down to the wire ... it's been on our minds the last couple of months.
break game happens quitting team
That's what happens when you break a team down. It isn't quitting because they know the game is over.
inside
That's the way the game's played. You go inside and out.
